Why they might be annoying:

    'There She Goes,' a song about heroin, was covered by Christian-rock band, Sixpence None the Richer and used in a medicine commercial.
    They are considered a one-hit wonder in America with the song, 'There She Goes.'
    Lee was controlling in the studio, not allowing the band members to contribute to the album.
    They disappeared from music without note of the breakup.
    Mavers had a long addiction to heroin.
    They often told the press how much they hated the production of 'The Las' and said that people shouldn't buy it.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Much to the band's unhappiness, their album was loved by many critics.
    'There She Goes' made the US Top 50 and the UK Top 20 charts.
    Lee has went on to form another band, which is still recording and performing music today.
    John Power has also found success, forming the britpop band, 'Cast.' The last word spoken on their self-titled album is the word, 'Cast.'
    Oasis picked them as their supporting band for their 1995 tour.
